But thanks for Cespedes anyway!

Cepedes is the man.

Rain out tonight. Dodged a bullet there.

"Tigers manager Brad Ausmus told reporters on Sunday that Anibal Sanchez (rotator cuff) and Daniel Norris (oblique) will both be activated off the DL to pitch Wednesday against the Twins. Each will throw 45 to 50 pitches, per Ausmus."

I may open one eye and take a peek at this team again in a few days.

CONN CHRIS · 09-16-2015, 10:22 PM

Van Man pitched pretty well. Stuck out the last batter he faced before hitting his pitch count. Really looking forward to next year.

CONN CHRIS · 09-18-2015, 10:45 PM

Oh look, the bullpen blows another good start. Didn't see that coming.

Need some more extra innings heroics.

CONN CHRIS · 09-19-2015, 05:20 AM

... and heroics it was!

David Watts · 09-22-2015, 09:44 PM

So Rondon gets sent home for lack of effort? Very strange and not something that makes me think this kid is our future closer. Ugh!

CONN CHRIS · 09-22-2015, 10:49 PM

Feliz isn't the future either :-)

How fitting, no-hitter through eight; Neftali stops that bid in short order and doubles down with a blown save.

Detroit Tigers' Al Avila announces Brad Ausmus will return in '16

Ausmus will return next year.

Great news. Saw a link on Yahoo, but was scared to click on it. Figured it was a tease headline. I'm glad to hear this.

Well, as the season winds down I must say that there is potential for a good team next year. We need pitchers badly, both starters and relievers, but the position players seem to be doing fairly well. I think our 10 games below .500 is a pitching issue not a batting/fielding issue.

I'm not sure if CANCER is the kind of thing I'd wait until the offseason to have operated on.

I mean, malignant or not, it's still cancer!

Wish him a speedy recovery regardless. Hope there are no complications.

Check this title out: How the Tigers win the 2016 World Series (I also want OOTP16)

I have an occasional nightmare where he is signed by the Sox or Indians, comes back in mid-career form and helps them battle for the Central with KC while we all watch from the shadows.

saw a blurb on my new feed that the Tigers traded for Francisco Rodriguez from the Brewers (didn't say who/what they sent in return)
